What wheel & tire package to buy?? PICS?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sanford66 · 06-01-2012, 02:13 AM

I am looking for a good wheel and tire package to buy for my truck. 72 1/2 ton lowered 4 1/2" in the front and about 6" in the rear. It has 8" truck rallys on it now. What is a good combo in the 18"-20" range that will fit my truck? I'm not sure on the backspacing, width, or tire size i need. The front tires do rub the top of the inner fenders sometimes, so i'm sure they don't have the right backspacing since i lowered it. Bottom line....i'm looking for the right combo for my truck. Post up pics with your specs, wheel sizes, tire sizes, etc... I'm looking to spend around $1,000.00 to 1,5000.00 at the top end for the combo. What do you all recomend? I was looking at the Show Wheels "streeters" or somthing in that style. Here's a couple of pics of my truck for reference. Thanks for the help. Joseph

You will need (if you do 20's)

20x10 - 5.5" Backspacing on the rear
20x8.5 - 5.25" Backspacing on the front

Most of the guys run 255/40/20 (f) and 295/40/20 (r) but I like a little more sidewall. I am going with 255/45/20 and 295/45/20 on my GMC

Coys had them on sale a week or so ago. If you like the Coys C5 (I know a lot of people have them) I think the polished ones would look really good on it. The side trim, etc. Not chrome .. but just the polished finish.

I like the streeters too but I don't care for the letters on the spokes. I'd do Coys C5s.

One of my favorite trucks on the forum.

I have a black GMC too. I am looking at this same combo for it, possibly the Coys C57s. Still looking / saving a little money.

Don't get bigger than 8.5 wide in the front. Otherwise they will most likely rub no matter what back spacing you put on them

Show Wheels make the correct back spacing in 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10 for our trucks. The model is the Streeter. They have them in polished, grey and black and the seem to be very affordable.
